Will My Insurance Pay for My Girlfriend's Abortion?

Most likely, your insurance does not cover your girlfriend’s abortion, since she is not legally married to you. If you and your girlfriend are navigating an unplanned pregnancy, you may have lots of fears around the decision right now, especially when it comes to finances. You are not alone.

Does my insurance cover my girlfriend?

Typically, health insurance companies will not provide coverage for a partner unless you are a spouse or domestic partner. Your partner must be covered by a legal obligation.

Every health insurance policy may be slightly different. Speak with your health insurance provider for the most current information about your specific coverage. Your provider can clarify your unique policy.

Abortion out-of-pocket costs

You and your partner may need to consider paying out-of-pocket if still considering abortion.

You would have to pay the full abortion costs. Abortion costs can be very high, alongside the other costs that you will need to pay before and after abortion. The costs include:

• Any pre-abortion screenings
• Time off work
• Traveling costs
• Emergency medical treatment (if abortion complications occur)
• Medications or anesthesia costs
• Follow-up appointments after abortion

Before moving forward

If you and your girlfriend are still thinking of pursuing an abortion, be sure she gets the clarity she needs about her pregnancy details. After receiving a positive pregnancy test, an ultrasound is needed to confirm if she qualifies for abortion.

At The Well Clinic, we offer no-cost pregnancy tests and limited obstetrical ultrasounds. An ultrasound requires a positive pregnancy test at our clinic. If it’s positive, we can set up an ultrasound appointment. We also offer more information on abortion and all pregnancy options so your partner can make an informed decision.
